The Dragon of Hae Dong Yong Gung Temple.


This dragon sculpture was definitely my favourite part of this whole temple! We were Quite disappointed, as the temple (being the only one in the world by the sea apparently) appeared to be purpose built for tourism, as it seemed fairly new, complete with a plastic-built cave resembling something from Disney Land and there were mainly only tourists there. I thought this Dragon was beautiful though, with it's snake-like, winding body and strange antlers from it's head. It's positioning over the hedge also made it that bit more mystical, with various little Buddhist ornaments surrounding it.
